Every book you’ll ever read on leadership, whether Christian or secular, will emphasise that a crucial part of leadership is to know where you are headed. If you know what the vision is – and you believe in it – then you’ll throw yourself into something – in a way that you never will if you don’t understand the point of what you’re doing. When it comes to a vision – it seems that in general – the bigger the better. The problem in many churches is that instead of being enthralled by God’s glorious vision, we give ourselves to the puny visions we find around us in the world, so that we don't rise up and serve God’s great vision with all our strength.
